This announcement comes as a surprise to all the other developers, myself included.

OpenWRT is an impressive project and I've really enjoyed using it over the years.

It's always disappointing to see a project you use and rely upon face this kind of challenge. With technical forks, you can usually at least appreciate the motivations, but with political forks it can be difficult to understand what or how things will be improved (especially for users who only see events from the outside).

Best of luck to you and the rest of the team in resolving whatever issues are at play here.

I'm sorry man. Thank you for what you guys have provided. I still have my wrt54g (v2?) as well as a wrt54gl. I remember modding those routers with friends adding usb ports, expanding storage and all sorts of other things. I have several friends who became ccnps because of openwrt. Regardless of what happens with this, thanks again. You guys rock!

This all sounds to me like it was some kind of misunderstanding among the devs. I hope you guys can resolve this and remain together.

While forks can be good, they are not always so.

OpenWRT is awesome, really would like to see one project (not split into two)

May chat with nbd [1]?

Also checkout history [2].

Thanks for openwrt. One of the nicest Linux distros I've used. Love ubus and procd and all the shell interfaces.

I was literally just now using the image builder to create a custom image and ran into this news.
